# Click {{button|text=Download from GPS}}
 
# Set the port to “com” or “usb”.
 
# Select the feature type.
 
# Enter a name for the output file and select a folder where you save your data.
 
# Enter a name for the layer.
 
# Click {{button|text=OK}}
 
# Afterwards the [[layer]] will be shown in Quantum GIS.
 
If you download or upload data from your [[GPS receiver]], coordinates will automatically
 
be reprojected from WGS84 /latitude, longitude to your custom [[spatial reference system]] and vice versa, respectivly.
 
Now you may convert the gpx file to the format shape file for easy data transfer to
 
different GIS software.

# Click {{button|text=Save as shapefile}}
 
# Enter a name for the shapefile ({{typed|text=waypoints.shp}}) and choose a folder where you save the layer.
